  1. POVertical Gradient Using Bootstrap and LESS

    text
    <p>I am very new to CSS, Bootstrap &amp; LESS. I have checked out the Bootstrap website and saw that I should be able to create a vertical gradient using the LESS mixin:</p> <pre><code>#gradient &gt; .vertical(); </code></pre> <p>I want to do this in the footer {} section of my css.scss file. I have no idea how to code this. My guess is that I need to add the statement above with the start &amp; end colors within the parentheses. The only examples I have seen were just the mixin. Does this need to be included with a background-image clause or something like that? I keep getting syntax errors.</p> <p>I'm sure this is probably a simple question but my knowledge of CSS is lacking. However I am learning minute by minute by trial and error. Any help would be appreciated.</p> <p>Updated 05/02/2012 7:15 am:</p> <p>Here is my CSS code for the footer that I would like to add the vertical gradient to:</p> <pre><code>footer { margin-top: 45px; padding-top: 5px; border-top: 1px solid $grayMediumLight; color: #000000; font-size: 10px; font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; #gradient &gt; .vertical(@white, @grayDarker); } </code></pre> <p>I am using this in a Rails 3.2.3 application. The colors I want to use for the vertical gradient are start <code>#ffffff</code> stop <code>#191919</code>. I decided to try the predefined variables instead of the hex values. I also tried changing <code>@</code> to <code>$</code>. I keep getting the following error.</p> <pre><code>Invalid CSS after "...ent &gt; .vertical": expected "{", was "(@white, @grayD..." (in /Users/server1/Sites/iktusnetlive_RoR/app/assets/stylesheets/custom.css.scss). </code></pre>
